    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware of the marble deposits in Koitilial area of Marakwet District. My Ministry has already carried out preliminary investigations on it. (b) A number of investors have shown interest in the marble deposits. But at the moment the material is not being exploited. My Ministry has encouraged and facilitated any person or company interested in exploiting the deposits to seek consent from the local authority and apply for a license to extract the marble. It is however, important to note that under the current legislation, limestone or marble is considered as a common mineral whose regulation is excluded from the jurisdiction of the Mining Act (Cap.306). This anomaly is being addressed by the new Mining and Minerals Bill (2009) Draft which includes all the industrial minerals like marble within its mandate."
